How can she sing with her foot in her mouth?

"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know." - Linda Ronstat in the San Diego Union

Yeah, well I'm pretty sure the Republicans and fundamental Christians would rather not know your political views so it doesn't cloud their enjoyment, so shut up and sing "Ooh, baby, baby" already.
